Crossed by three main Roman
roads (the Via Aurelia by the Tyrrenian sea, the via Cassia going to Siena
and the Via Clodia between) Etruria is full of testimonies of the Middle
Age, the "dark" period after the fall of the Roman Empire. |
|
|
Many sites in Etruria are
enchanted corners where you can feel also today the steps of Carlo Magno,
of the pilgrims going to Rome, of the millions of different people
crossing Italy in these mysterious centuries. |

|
Tuscania is a splendid example
of Medieval town surrounded by the original wall. |
|
|
|
|
With two jewels of the Ronesque
architecture: the Basiliche of San Pietro and Santa Maria Maggiore (VIth -
XIth century) |
|
|
And, all around Tuscania, dozens
of villages and hill top towns (as Civita di Bagnoregio or Orvieto) are
impresive examples of this amazing period. |
